Solid-state physics
Solid-state physics
is the study of rigid
matter
, or
solids
, through methods such as
quantum mechanics
,
crystallography
,
electromagnetism
, and
metallurgy
. It is the largest branch of
condensed matter physics
. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their
atomic
-scale properties. Thus, solid-state physics forms a theoretical basis of
materials science
. It also has direct applications, for example in the technology of
transistors
and
semiconductors
.
